I bought my Good One for right at $1,000. Best grill and best smoker I have ever owned...best of all you can grill and smoke on the same unit at the same time.

The Good One is a great grill/smoker. My only problem with them is that the small sized one (for around $1000) simply doesn't hold much food. I like a smoker I can do a butt, a packer cut brisket, three slabs of ribs, and some chicken all at once. For that, I'd have had to go up to the next size Good one, and it was like $1600

Gas is way more convenient. Especially at my house, where it's hooked up to the natural gas line, and I don't even have to worry about propane tanks. Winning. No one ever complains about the quality of my steaks and burgers, and always compliments them. The prep is way more important.

I doubt anyone could tell the difference if you gave them a double blind test, unless you used woodchips or something with smoke. For grilling (not smoking) there are things I like using charcoal for and there are things I like using gas for. If I come home from work hungry, I just want to fire up the grill and have it be ready immediately. Cleaning out ash sucks too. When I use charcoal, I want to cook a LOT of meat with it at once, hence a smoker.

One of our grills is/was a Weber 300q, but the Kansas wind has annihilated it. I am thinking about replacing it with a 200q or another 300.

Does anyone have the 200?

I've never investigated the grills you mentioned. They seem pricey for what they are. The 200q uses the little propane cylinders, not the 20 lb. tanks like the 300q. I don't know if there's a way to adapt the 200q to use the large tanks.

Thanks. They make an adapter for 20lb tanks.

They are expensive but they do a great job, and if they are not left out in the Kansas Wind they should last forever.
